Elvis_Bogart:Disintegrating? Other than a few dented air ducts, it looked fine to me. It's supposed to look rough and dirty. It's a steel mill, not an Apple store.

To be fair, there were several broken windows too."Haunting" would be children using chain winches to move the slabs of steel around, not fully functioning automated hydraulic systems.I suspect subby has never seen the inside of any industrial plant.

Nuclear Monk:Honest question to anyone who might have ever been in a steel mill: Are they really that dark, or is that just the videographer setting the exposure to capture the orange glowiness better?

Mostly the latter. They're not going out of their way to make it super great inside, but it IS adequately lit for the workers to safely do their jobs.

I worked in a steel mill a couple decades ago, though not a hot-strip mill. The mill I worked at was better maintained and more automated. So while the mill is not disintegrating, it's probably incapable of producing steel at the quality and price demanded these days.

And yes, there are plenty of ways to meet your Maker at the steel mill, if you and everybody else are not careful or the mill decides to skimp on certain areas of maintenance.
